The concrete jungle where dreams are made of is expected to see a drop in foreign tourist numbers for the first time in seven years, city officials announced earlier this week. While New York City's tourism marketing agency NYC & Company put out their projected visitors numbers in October, the group re-released the numbers, noting that the city will see 300,000 fewer foreigners in 2017 compared to last year. The adjusted numbers are a direct result of the outcome of the presidential election and controversial travel ban, the officials told the New York Times in an interview. “The Europeans start coming to New York around Easter and continue through summer,” NYC & Company president Fred Dixon told the Times. “That’s when you’ll see the rhetoric out of Washington really having an impact on travel.”

A record 60.3 million visitors, including 12.7 million foreigners, visited New York City in 2016, and that number is expected to grow to a record 61.7 million in 2017—even with fewer foreign tourists heading to the Big Apple. The number of domestic tourists traveling to New York City is expected to rise by 1.3 million visitors.

Unfortunately, domestic travelers won't make up for the 300,000 foreign travelers (and their dollars) that will skip out on Times Square in 2017, and tourist-focused businesses will see a drop of at least $600 million in sales, NYC & Company estimated. On average, foreign tourists spend four times the amount U.S. tourists do in the city, Dixon said.

New York City isn't the only U.S. destination to be hit with a drop in foreign tourism. Flight searches on international routes bound for the U.S. dropped 17 percent in the weeks before and after President Trump's inauguration. While flight prices have stayed the same for routes from the U.K. to various major U.S. destinations, the drop-off is obvious in hotel prices. According to a recent Kayak study, average prices for rooms in Las Vegas are down 39 percent, down 34 percent in San Francisco, and down 32 percent in New York. The Global Business Travel Association also recently estimated that the U.S. has already lost about $185 million in business travel bookings since Trump took office.

For now, cities like New York are trying to take a positive outlook, and looking to draw more foreigners in by showcasing diversity. NYC & Company just launched the "Welcoming the World" campaign to assuage travelers' fears, and will promote the message on billboards overseas. "We’re a place that welcomes everybody. It’s in our values and in our economic interest,” deputy mayor for housing and development Alicia Glen said in a statement. “We’ll keep reminding visitors what we stand for, so we can keep this both the most internationally visited and the safest city in America.”
